Excellent
9:32 Cheryl had my boy Q flustered and blushing 😅😅😅😅
@lilfolkes yes, he was blushing!
@@lilfolkes i was looking to see if somebody peeped. 😂 She meant what she said too.
This is literally the GOAT of Women's Basketball, OMG!!!
Fax 🗣️
With absolutely no debate..
U ever watch her play
@@tonycolemanjr.5730yes sir back in her college days and even old footage during the Olympics of 84. Even had a chance to check out some of her high school footage back in high school.
No question but let's not sleep on SHERYL SWOOPES AND CYNTHIA COOPER. Shout-out to Candace Parker.
Cheryll Miller is the best interview ever! Her stories, manor of speech, and animated gestures are on point. LOVED IT!
Y’all got the OG on here. She deserves a lot more credit for the development of the women’s game. I remember they would call Reggie “Cheryl’s brother” 😂😂. Salute to her 🫡🫡
That is her brother
@@tonycolemanjr.5730 it was always used a diss to Reggie. Like when they used to call Ray J “Brandy’s brother”. It’s saying you’re a nobody compared to your sister.
@@BigMir248 how is a true statement a diss 😑
Both siblings are hall of famers I don't think either 1 is a nobody compared to the other
@@tonycolemanjr.5730 bruh lmao do you not understand how jokes work?
U can tell how much Cheryl influenced Reggie
And you know she gave him BUCKETS growing up lol
For anyone that doesn't know, the McGee twins she referred to at 18:27 are the mother and aunt of Javale McGee. Javale's mom Pam is a Olympic gold medalist as well.
You should hear their story why they chose USC after visiting UCLA.
Flint legends!
where can I find that ? I know that gotta be good...@@123slasher.16
I tought so javale talks about it on All the smoke or knuckleheads 😮
😅😅@@123slasher.16
We need Cheryl back on TNT. We also need videos of her cooking Reggie because when she was on TNT she used to roast him all the time 😂
Cheryl definitely is the greatest woman basketball player I've ever seen
I remember watching her a lot in the 90s on TNT and I fully agree with your statement. She was super excited when Magic Johnson briefly came back during the 96 season
She was good on NBA TV. The problem was it was small at the time so nobody watched. If she did the same thing now, Cheryl would probably have her own spinoff show.
I'm only at the 34 min mark of the video and this has been already been an absolute gem of an interview.
Cheryl is way too hilarious
She amazing ...
I am up at 4am watching Cheryl Miller I am a 52 yr old woman love this interview of Ms. Miller I was 13 yr old watching. She is a great story teller.
Cheryl with the greatest "who bust yo ass" answer ever....
Legendary answer
It’s crazy how Cheryl and Reggie sound so much alike when they talk. Same cadence and the tone is only slightly different. I love her interviews, whether she’s asking the questions or answering the questions.
It's eerie. Their confidence is on 1000 lol
And they fan out about micheal jackson
I agree
Real hoopers, Real ones who are a part of the global basketball community, know exactly who and what Cheryl Miller did for the game. Cheryl a Og for real.
Bruh, this is the equivalent of getting MJ or Bron on the pod.
Cheryl is HER.
Um no
This is LEGENDARY!!! This woman is the GOAT of Women basketball. Period!!! Set the bar high, fellas
💯✊🏽🙏🏽
The one I've been waiting for... Didn't disappoint either. Cheryl has and always will be a national treasure, Black Girl Magic and the GOAT!! And y'all got her for us! Well done!
As a black father, it is so delighting to hear Cheryl Miller commend these 2 younger men, especially Darius for being so well mannered and respectful to her.
Both of their parents should be extremely proud of them.
9:32 Cheryl had my boy Q flustered and blushing 😊😅😅😅😅
This is golden, a living legend . A scoring machine, the lady MJ . I remember 105 points game
Cheryl that aunt that doesn’t cuss but you love to hear her stories 😂
The Wilt Chamberlain of women's basketball.
I'm not even really a watcher of women's bball but women like her and Lisa Leslie are undoubtedly legends and always carried themselves with class and grace.
If anyone in the sphere of women's basketball earned the right to have any kind of bitterness or sour grapes, it's those two. They blazed the trail and didn't have nearly the exposure/opportunities that social media and modern technology gives players today. But even in voicing their opinions, they do it with class and maturity. You hear Cheryl say "I'm blessed" even after having her career end prematurely, without being one of the richest women, etc. She's carries herself like a true legend and she's treated as such.
She said it herself "Ladies if you want everyone to respect you, start supporting one another" 🎯
Lisa Leslie got her exposure being in the league, in LA and winning with the Sparks much more then Cheryl ever got id argue that Lisa is the one viewed and talked about Cheryl never really is
@@BostonBori92 Everyone knew that was Reggie's twin and he publicly said any chance he got that she was the better basketball player. She's been a sideline reporter and came on other Turner content. She's been known. People who know know and say she helped pave the way.
@@TheOuttaPocketVarietyShowI dont remember saying she didnt lol you said her and Lisa Leslie went under appreciated because no social media was around and i simply argued that Lisa won in LA in the league women like her Sherrill Swoops, Cynthia Cooper had a chance to play and showcase their talents Cheryll never had that platform shes in a category of her own
I’m 1/4 way through… love this interview guys. I miss Cheryl Miller on them broadcasts….
If she would've played in the WNBA, HER RECORDS WOULDN'T BE TOUCHED, THE G.O.A.T OF WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Ms. Cheryl Miller, she was giving her brother Reggie Miller lessons in the yard!
She actually did play in the league but she was past her prime. The knee injury was really it and she never recovered from it
I'm so glad we got the chance to see this one, the legend herself
This was beautiful! Only students of the game can dig it! ❤️🏀🔥
This was needed can’t forget about her!!!! She did it before them all!!!
On of the funniest but real interviews. Loved her level of confidence it definitely showed in her shooting
I'm so glad this interview happened.. Was nice to see her not being so cocky. She is actually humble and shouts out her competition and gives credit where it's due. Great job D&Q
She was never cocky but was CONFIDENT
This lady exudes so much charisma, it's so interesting to watch.
Hoop royalty… I’m honored to listen to this interview
She definitely a legend. I'm half way through and realize just how great she was and how she has always been around and apart the game.
Man....this is definitely a top #3 interview for the Knuckleheads......I don't like and comment on ANYTHING usually, but this is worth it!
I remember hearing about the legendary Ms. Cheryl Miller before I ever heard Reggie's name. (I graduated from HS in 1987}. A few years later, everyone was like, "Reggie. That's Cheryl Miller's little brother."
I read about her 105-point game in the Saint Paul, MN newspaper, and followed her USC career through ESPN highlights and the newspapers.
Obviously, and rightfully so, she was more fully-covered by the national media during the 1984 Olympics in L.A., my favorite basketball city. And, damn, if the Russians had bothered to even show up, they woulda been destroyed!
This is one of the greatest episodes 'Knuckleheads' has ever done!
This here lady here!! If you know then you know. The term Legend has gone commercial these days. However, she was truly a LEGEND. The Real Mofo Deal!!
Seen Cheryl & clicked instantly!!!! THE GWOAT!!!!
sat here and watched this entire interview. She is special and thanks for sharing this made my year!
Cheryl’s energy is so dope! Wish I can talk to her! This was long overdue! Much love from Chicago 🔥🔥🔥
her and Reggie's sense of humor and mannuerisms are the EXACT same lol
ALWAYS loved her voice, personality and presence in and around the game...would love to see more of her in sports spaces, but hopefully she is healthy and happy and fulfilled
I thought she was coaching now I could be wrong I didn’t google lol.
She was coaching a few years ago now she isnt@@princeprince9227
This interview was everything! Thank you all!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🏀🏀🏀🏀
Many Flowers to Cheryl Miller! A truly Most Respected Women's basketball player. She could control a complete game. Lot's of wonderful memories and I'm very happy All of basketball respected and rewarded her. Thank You, Cheryl Miller. 🌹🌹💐🌷🌺
I was born in 89. Never got to see her play. But I grew up a big Reggie Miller fan. An I always heard the stories about her. Much respect 🙏
The same for me. I was born in 84, so she was a little before my time. I was a Reggie fan as well growing up and I remember him telling stories about his big sis. I wish I was around to see her greatness during real-time, but at least we have RUclips now and we can watch some of her games.
Maybe the best answer to the opening question in all these seasons. Cheryll Miller true hooper triple OG glass ceiling destroyer
I love this podcast because y’all respect hoopers, no matter the gender. Salute.
I’m definitely loving it fellas. The guest are getting better and better. Cheryl is a effin beast
Y’all snapped with this one
I have massive amounts of respect for Cheryl Miller. I wish she was in her basketball prime now so I could see her play.
This was great guys. Cheryl is a basketball legend.
Oh I know this one’s gonna be a classic. Will be a lot to learn from this episode.
Cheryl Miller is beyond hilarious 😂.
❤ Cheryl… and you can see and hear Reggie all in her. The Miller Family represented the game very well! The world missed seeing her play on the big stage (The W) at her best. She’s on the Mount Rushmore of GOAT women’s players.
I always LOVED Cheryl!! Her personality, her confidence, and her ability!! Dope interview, guys!!
👊🏾🏆❤️🔥
Thank you for this one. My wife and me are always asking about Cheryl, we miss seeing her on the side line. Great Interview!!!
This was a great interview gentlemen! Thanks for bringing Cheryl on to talk about everything. I grew up in the LA area watching her play and have always felt she's the best ever in the women's game!
This interview was super dope. I really didn’t know that much about Cheryl Miller. Besides, she was a beast. Thanks Q and D miles for always showing the women athletes, some love, the OGs, who set the tone😀
😁I don’t know wether it was her charisma or rawness, but is was definitely a 1 of 1 interview for sure!!!Dope💯💯!!
This is the best basketball podcast by far. Q and DM questions are always the questions we want to ask. Respect to you both 👏
Knucklehead podcast is truly the best basketball podcast HANDS DOWN. Genuine curiosity and comfortable vibes with their guests. No frills no BS, just lovers of ball .
Oh y'all snapped with this one. An OG & Queen. Y'all killing the game.
We don't see Ms. Cheryl often getting the recognition she deserves!! We needed this, dope interview guys!!
She is infectious. I Love hearing her talk. Her teammates had to have been really confident due to her because she speaks like I'm her. It's really cool to hear.
OMG I love her mindset! Baller Alert!!
Im laughing right along with Q. Cheryl is hilarious 😂! This interview was enjoyable
Well done. I am so glad that these brothers were able to have this sit down with Cheryl. Like the rest of the group have said, Cheryl is a national treasure. This was phenomenal!
Rest In Peace to Mr. Saul Miller, Sr. I’m sure he was a wonderful father and very proud of his children.
Thanks for this episode, it really lifted my up after coming from a funeral. Love that lady
What an incredible person. Cheryl Thank you for everything!!!
Cheryl Miller was tough and I loved her passion and how she talked so much trash.
Thank you for this interview! She was the first female superstar to me! I tried out for BB because of her! Definitely GOAT status!
This is a beautiful treat legendary Cheryl Miller!😊
Why did it take so long for anyone to interview her? She was the first GWOAT. I hope she keeps getting her due.
Absolutely
Boi i real life had to take a breath when i seen who the guest was. forgotten legends from both sides...Yall boys killing it!
This the funniest woman alive! 😂😂 this episode an Instant Classic
My Girl. I Love Her. She Got Game!🏀🙌🏿
It's nice to see a woman athlete. I admired this pioneer woman in Basketball 🏀 😍
Thank you for this interview! Like others have stated she was my first WBB🐐 (before Swoops,Staley, Leslie, Spoon, Thompson-all ladies of my generation). Back then, being a NorCal kid, the only WBB you would see on the local channels was during NCAA tournament; outside of that, you would hear about special players by reading the sports section of the paper or magazines. Cheryl was the reason why I played MS & HS b-ball; I never had a desire to play in college, but I still applied to USC just because Cheryl Miller went to school there…watching Cheryl & the “twins” & Coop play for USC was 🔥 😤👏🏾✊🏾😎
Cheryl Miller is one of my favorite personalities! Amazing story teller.
Bravo Men!! To have a legend like Ms. Miller on shows that yall really about this hooping! 👊🏾
This was a totally awesome interview in every way. Darius and Q were so respectful and conducted a spectacular interview. Cheryl Miller kept me riveted for the whole interview. Thanks to everyone is this interview.
The most mentally tough and talented female hooper...ever.🐐🏀
One of the best ambassadors for the game hands down greatness with quality class act so much can't even put into words much Respect
As a young fan that discovered basketball late and listen to a lot of Ball podcast, this is probably the BEST EPISODE EVER recorded 🤯🤯 I knew her because of reggie of course but if u tell me to tell u what a baller is, I'm shouting her name a THOUSAND TIMES!!! And what a great person she is! Charismatic and she seem's to really love Q and D Miles ! Thank u for this incredible hour Cherryl and u 2 guys!
I idolized this woman growing up! Her, Cynthia Cooper, Theresa Witherspoon and Dawn Staley!
Been a fan of Cherly for as long as I have known about basketball. Her career ended right before the WNBA was entering it's innagural season, she would have got a ring if she could do it.
This was incredibly entertaining and informative. The piece she spoke on about behind the scenes as a broadcaster was amazing to hear. Everyone learns from mistakes and grows into an even better person.
The doctor!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I believe her man ......her influence on lil bro is so heavy lol
If Jordan would've averaged 50 in todays NBA, then Cheryl would've averaged 60 in the WNBA with her records most likely never being broken or reached!!!!
Cheryl Miller is heelarious 😂😂10 minutes in i had no idea she was this funny 😂😂😂
Love the Miller family..pure class
The GOAT of women's hoopers.. hands down and for her to give Coop her credit Respect..
Aaaaawesome interview. I clicked it on as soon as it posted. Cheryl was the truth. Kicking men’s asses. She shows respect for ALL generations. Damn … what if. Love her personality.
Cheryl was that deal to even becoming a interviewer/broadcaster 🔥🔥
This interview was too great. She too funny as well 😂🤣. Much respect
GOAT Level Dad lesson at 13...powerful message and love that she shared that as those messages and moments Dads provide get swept away too often
Greatest ever Female Basketball player. Queen Miller still sharp and maintaining her vitality. ❤ watching her play the game. So hilarious.
I love this one! Thanks Gents and thanks Ms. Miller!!
100 points in game 🏀💐💐💐💐
